I Am Speed

Not really.

It sure feels like it on this bike though. This is with the loaner El Tenedor and Jones bars on.

I have never been much of a weight weenie, but man is this thing light, and there is something really sexy about riding a very light, very strong machine.

I had to get the Jones bars up significantly higher on the steerer than the Mary's to get the relationship right. Went to a 90mm Thomson X4 stem as that is what I had, and Jeff recommends using a 31.8 clamp with shims to protect the bars. This is 10mm longer than the On-One stem it replaced.

The bars must do something for me since I was able to hop sideways up the stairs behind the bike for the first time ever (twice:)), and I've been attempting that for some time.

Hopefully they will be tried in battle tomorrow. I have a 70mm stem I could try, but I'm sure that will be too tight.
